WRITING OBSTACLE
A person finds themselves in a strange, unfamiliar place.
Use sensory language and vivid imagery to describe the setting and the character's feelings of disorientation and uncertainty.
Positions
It’s like I’m standing at the bottom of a hole, the shovel in my hands… my grave.
It’s like I’m jumping from an airplane without a parachute… my death.
It’s like I’m hanging from the edge of a mountain… I’m so scared to let go.
What if I fall?
What if I can’t get up?
What if I don’t make it?
It’s so hard just to be okay.
It’s so hard to smile.
They stare,
I swear I’m fine.
I hurt- the throbbing in my chest grows.
The butterflies die and darkness closes in.
Roses wilt and the sun hides away.
In my hole, with the shovel, I stand.
I dig deeper everyday.
I won’t forget.
I won’t let go.
I won’t stop.
